Boring breakfast; fun product review!
In the mix:
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- Raspberries
- Greek yogurt
- Chia seeds
Another yogurt mess might be boring to look it, but it sure tasted yummy. π
Pride Is Forever
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about how Jen and I brought our old racing medals to Girls on the Run as a way to motivate the girls to train for their upcoming 5K.
It was fun to look back at all my medals, but I was a little sad that they were relegated to a cardboard box in my attic. I asked if anyone had suggestions on how I could display the medals in a classy, organized way.
Erin read about my plight and suggested I check out Allied SteelΓ’β¬β’s medal displays. I was immediately enthralled! IΓ’β¬β’ve never seen medal holders so beautiful and sleek. Even though it was a bit pricey (and it turns out delivery took 3 weeks to boot; however, itΓ’β¬β’s a small American company so it was worth the wait), I ordered the Pride is Forever medal holder (Γ’β¬Εpain is temporary, quitting is forever!Γ’β¬Β is one of my mantras).
I hung up my medals in the space between our living room and kitchen.
Very high-quality construction. I like how thereΓ’β¬β’s room to grow on the holder, too. I could squish the ribbons together and probably hang up twice as many medals (baw-hahaha!). Also, I like how the sleek design hides the gap on the steel where you insert the ribbons. Very snazzy. And a fun conversation piece!

I wish I had a medal from my Olympic Triathlon!

All in all Γ’β¬β a great product! I think this would be an excellent holiday present (hereΓ’β¬β’s my other gift suggestions) for the active person in your life (or for yourself!).
I LOVE the Pigs Fly one!
